If Julien's past pre-sale estimates are any indicator, I doubt most of this stuff will sell anywhere near the price ranges supplied. I think a hardwood head Mark I (with that crazy logo?) would probably sell for more than $2k even without the Neil Young provenance. A lot of those guitars seem crazy cheap as well.

Yeah, those estimates seem awfully low. They must be trying to lure more people into participating in the auction.

Its a weird setup...the whole auction thing. I see there is already a bid on the 74' Mark I 1x12" combo. So does that mean you can register ahead of time and enter a bid before the official start of 12/9?

Speaking of reading the fine print, I was just flipping through a Mesa catalog from the Mark III era... in a small aside it says that the first four Boogies ever made were hardwood and went to Neil Young. Seeing how weird and raw these looked it really seems like these must have been two of those first four. That is crazy! Maybe $5,000 doesn't seem like so much now. I wonder if the winners of those actions knew that going in. Good for them either way. I am jealous!
